…

After the whole incident of going out, the Vindice were set with another problem. Aparently, Reborn who often snuck out and became missing for a few days and then return, was supervising the new boss of the Chiavarone who was already 14. His father had already passed away and had been under training by Reborn for a few years.

"And so, he will be visiting the manor as his first official job as Chiavarone Nono," said Reborn as he finished explaining about the Chiavarone's existence.

"So he asked you for permission?" said Bermuda raising an eyebrow.

"No, he would have done it, but as his supervisor, I must take some responsibility and push the date early to tomorrow," said Reborn. Bermuda merely stared at the hitman and sighed.

"Let him come tomorrow," he said, "I'll ask Tsuna to prepare something. What do we need to do, anyways?"

"Ah… I think Tsuna preparing something is fine. It'll give him a shock to see a little girl in the manor anyways," said Reborn nonchalantly, "and that girl always got some surprise lined up."

"Sometimes, I can't deny anything said about Tsuna," said Bermuda.

…

"Eh? Why do we have to do this? It's just some wimp coming over so what's the big deal?" asked Gingerbread, still a bit pissed off from meeting the silverette the other day.

"But father said so…" said Tsuna, doing her best to convince Gingerbread. It was the first time someone was going to visit; they had to give off a great impression!

Sometimes, you cannot resist that look… thought Gingerbread, sweat dropping. "Fine…"

Tsuna instantly brightened up and exclaimed with happiness before she went to Verde to ask for information about the Chiavarone boss along as going to a few other people for some help.

…

The following morning…

Dino didn't even want to go to some manor which was occupied by the most powerful and oldest Famiglia, aka the VIN freaking DICE. He was too young to die! Okay that was an exaggeration, but kids in the mafia died younger than 14… okay, now that's depressing.

Now seriously, if you had the choice to go to Vindice or go into training by Reborn, you'd obviously go to the Vindice because it was a one day thing, right? Oh how wrong Dino was… he never really figured out Reborn's treacherous ways.

Upon arriving at the manor, it was everything he expected it to be; dark, black, gloomy, no sense of life at all and very very scary.

Reborn was nowhere to be seen and he was starting to get a bit worried. Romario wasn't allowed to come so the only thing in his company was his whip and his tortoise, Enzo. He pushed on. Just as he walked passed the front gates, he spotted movement. Instantly freaked out, he started to sprint towards the front entrance of the dark manor only to fall over, like always. At first he thought he had fell over his feet only to feel something fury brush his leg. Daring to look down, he saw a black cat with amber 'glowing' eyes.

'Wait… Doesn't a black cat mean bad luck?!' thought Dino, screaming inwardly.

Once again, he fretted over the whole black cat thing. I mean, come on! He's already broken two mirrors and looked at broken mirror someone else broke.

Banging on the doors, he looked back to see that the cat was no longer there. In some superstitions, if the cat stayed, it was good luck, but in others, if it stayed it was bad luck.

The door opened, and expecting some tall cloaked and bandaged figure, he was met by a little girl with brown fluffy hair in a white dress. Her skin was so pale, that he mistook her for a ghost.

"A-are y-you a g-ghost?" asked Dino not expecting a reply. The girl giggled, making Dino melt in relief.

"No I'm not. Welcome to the Vindice manor~ I'll be your guide~" she said.

"Is this something of Reborn's tricks?" questioned Dino, still finding everything a little suspicious and a bit horrified about a girl in the Vindice manor.

"Eh? Reborn? He's waiting inside if you want to see him," said Tsuna.

"H-huh… c-can you take me to him?" The girl nodded happily. It was interesting to see him reach out for Reborn, even though he was pretty evil. It's probably because he only knows him.

Dino somewhat felt extremely calm around her. She seemed familiar to him somewhat and there was this pure vibe that he could get from the girl. She was rather cute and she was actually very pretty up close with her gleeful eyes. He started to blush as he realised what was going on. He tried to avoid the cute curious stares that he got from the girl.

When they entered the main hallway, Dino swore that the place suddenly got darker and darker as he kept walking. The girl, on the other hand, did not seem to react to that.

He heard small chuckles and inevitable screams.

"U-u-um… h-hey, do you hear that?" asked Dino in a hushed voice, as if someone was following them. But as he looked up, he could no longer hear the soft and calming footsteps of the girl or even see the girl. Lmao (- okay ignore this.)

He froze. The hallway was getting longer and longer in distance and he hear the cackling noises of a person. Was it an escapee of the Vendicare? Was it the Vindice themselves? Was it an asylum of the Vendicare?

Dashing forward, not even tripping like he would normally do, and stumbled into a wall. But he went through it. This time his eyes were blinded. Not because of anything gory, scary etc, but… the pinkness.

His eyes were assaulted by the bright pink that covered the walls. The puppets that hung around creeped him out and the one freakishly real doll sat right in the centre of the room. Within a blink, the doll disappeared, thus causing the movement in Dino's body to start up again. Creepy laughter erupted though the pink violating room making him start to have a panic attack. There was no exit, well at least he saw none, and that creepy doll had disappeared RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

Swirling around, he acted as fast as he could finding any opening in the room. Circulating the room a few times, he found a small latch on the side of the doors in which waited that doll that was once in the middle of the room.

"Why does this happen to me?" he thought as the doll jumped at him whispering something like, 'don't you dare get close to Tsuna,' and he blacked out with a blood curdling scream.

…

"Is Dino ok?" asked Tsuna, "was it too much for him?"

"He's fine. He's a boss so he has to be ok," said Reborn as he merely looked at the security cameras that surveyed the room the blonde was in.

"I guess so… I mean it's only Viper-nee's illusions…"

A scream came from the speaker, making Tsuna more worried.

"Why is Gingerbread there?" asked Tsuna as she peered over the screen.

"Makes it better. The show is already getting boring anyways," he said. "Shall we go greet him?"

Tsuna nodded as the pair went ahead to the main hallway.

…

"PLEASE DON'T KILL MEEEE!"

"What? I'm just gonna hurt you. I mean, it's not gonna hurt that much," replied Gingerbread. The blonde literally just woke up and he's screaming his head off. What was his problem? The teen was even older than him.

"Please! Just let me go!" cried Dino as tears started forming at the edges of his eyes.

How pitiful, thought Gingerbread, and freaking annoying.

"Gingerbread!" shouted another voice. Light footsteps approached them. It was Tsuna and Reborn.

"Reborn! This is the first time I have missed your face!" exclaimed Dino.

"Stupid and clumsy, as always," said Reborn without a single care for Dino.

"Hey, don't say that!" said Tsuna as she lightly smacked reborn on the back. Dino could only stare at her for daring to do such a thing to Reborn. Despite the Arcobaleno member not being that much older than Dino, they were known as the 7 strongest and were automatically feared. As the Chiavarone boss, Dino had held high respect towards them and was honoured to be taught by the self-proclaimed 'number 1 hitman in the world.' Of course he expected Reborn to be scary but not as this fucking scary. But right now, he had to get out of this 'Gingerbread's' hands.

"Tch." Reborn merely tilted his fedora as he turned away from his student.

"C'mon Dino. You haven't even met the actual Vindice yet! Don't worry about Gingerbread, he's just really sensitive and he's always been like that," said Tsuna as she let Dino stand up and follow her.

Ah. She's the one from before. She seems nice. But didn't she leave me in that… place? Oh well, thought Dino, not wanting to turn around and face Gingerbread or Reborn.

…

"So how do you think they're going right now?" asked Elma as she sipped the expresso meant for Reborn. For some reason she could actually taste it, just faintly though.

"Hm, that coward Chiavarone must have shit his pants!" cackled Jack.

[Maybe. I mean, Tsuna wouldn't take it that far, knowing her.] Said Big Pino.

"Ah that's true," said Lotterio, only not to be heard by the others.

"But in that small body, she can do many things. I mean, think of what she was able to do to us!" exclaims Alejandro.

"Yes, I would have to agree with Alejandro," said Jager.

The Vindice members were then interrupted by the entrance of Small Gia who was then followed by Bermuda and the Arcobaleno.

"We're here!" announced Small Gia. "Man! That was pretty funny."

"It seems like Chiavarone, Gingerbread, Tsuna and Reborn are coming. Shall we go greet the Chiavarone Boss?" asked Bermuda.

"Wouldn't that be nice? Shall we great them first, or shall we let the guest of honour decide?" asked Luce. The rest of the Arcobaleno started to think about all different impressions to give the teen. Only Mammon was missing. She was probably returning from her part of the tricks.

"I don't think there's a need. I believe Tsuna is already done with her tricks."

Or so they thought.

…

"Dino," said Tsuna.

"Y-yes?"

"So how old are you?"

"I'm 14," answered Dino, "you?"

"I'm 11," she replied with a smile.

"Uh… this might be a bit weird but why are you in the Vindice manor?"

"Oh, it's because they helped me when I was younger, so they're like family now."

"Um… where did the others go?" asked Dino, when he realised that no one was following them anymore.

"Don't mind that. If you're scared you can hold my hand! I know this mansion very well!" she said, stretching out her hand. Dino took it, a bit flustered and the pair powered on.

"Ah here we go." Tsuna pushed open a door, quite large in size to reveal a very suspicious looking hall ways. For some reason, it looked like jail cells.

"Uh… are you sure it's this way?"

"Yep!" she said smiling to reassure him.

As they slowly walked through the hallway, Dino started to notice the disturbances in the air. Such as the sounds of screams from the distance and then the gust of wind every now and then tickling his ankles as if there was someone holding his ankles.

The screams gradually became louder and the hallway seemed even longer. He turned to his left where Tsuna was. She was somewhat happy and was squinting a bit to see in the dark. Her eyes seemed to glow orange a bit. He turned to his right where he full on yelped and pounced back.

Oh god, that was something he did not want to see. No way in hell. It was exactly what he thought the Vindice was.

"W-w-where is this, Tsuna?"

"Ah, it's one of the secret hallways that I go to every now and then. There are some jail cells but they're empty. I think it might be haunted though," she replied nonchalantly. "Are you ok?"

Dino slowly nodded, regaining his balance. What he just saw was something like torture but no blood was spilt for some reason. That's when he became familiar with the scenes. This wasn't just some random haunted part of the Vindice manor, but the haunting memories that he once had with Reborn except he was looking at himself at 3rd person.

"Can we please hurry?" he asked, his voice cracking on the 'please.'

"Hehe, sure~"

That's when he realised that the hallway's end was nowhere in sight. Nor was Tsuna. Panicking was not a choice, nor was fainting. So he endured it. So much that he was once again traumatized and scarred for life. As he finally reached the end of the hallway, or what he presumed to be the end considering the light, he fainted. The last thing he saw was a wad of cold hard cash from a small hand being handed over to a cloaked figure.

…

"So what's taking them so long?" asked Skull.

"Must be the dark," said Colonello.

"But Tsuna's with them," said Fon.

"I believe that they're here. Come out Reborn. I can sense you," said Verde.

"Tch," said Reborn as he crouch jumped into view along with Gingerbread. "The brat is coming. Tsuna must have done something."

"Could be true," said Lal.

"Hmm. Oh well, we can wait," said Luce as she sighed. The Vindice looked warily at the door opposite them. They were able to sense anything living and breathing in the manor. Mammon, Tsuna and Dino were together. They must have met up.

"We're finally here!" said Tsuna as she entered the room through the door.

"How's the Chiavarone?"

"Oh, he's sleeping."

I wonder why, thought the females sarcastically as they noticed Mammon leaving before anyone noticed.

"Then what should we do then?" asked Small Gia.

"Let's give him a scare when he wakes up," suggested Jack.

"What are you gonna do?" asked Colonello staring at the Vindice.

"Oh it isn't much."

And so they started to loosen part of their bandages.

"You can look away if you want," said Elma, but before some could, she proceeded to dislocate parts of the mangled bodies of the Vindice. The cracking and popping sound echoed in everyone's minds along with the image being played on loop.

"Aren't you going to do it?" asked Reborn to Elma.

"What? You're gonna ask a lady to do such things? Despicable," said Elma. "Nah, I'm kidding. If I do this to myself, how am I supposed to help the others get back to their original places? They'll end up having no arms and no one to stitch it back on. Upsy daisy."

The Vindice were already in place.

"Well, we'll just wait then."

…

Dino…

Huh?

Dino…

What? Who's calling me?

WAKE UP.

…

"What?!" exclaimed Dino as he sat up. He couldn't see anything. It was already night, wasn't it? Tsuna had left him to wallow and be forever forgotten on the Vindice's grounds. That's when he realised he was sitting on thin carpet. Standing up, he looked around for the wall so he could follow the outside. He walked slowly but tripped over something. He felt for what he tripped over to see an arm. A zombie's one.

"AHHHHHH!"

Crawling backwards, he bumped into something else. Something cold but somewhat soft. A dead body.

"AHH!"

Standing up and sprinting, he fell face first onto a rather large soft thing. It looked like a fresh human corpse.

"WHY?"

Jumping right up, he stood still and strained his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Only to regret that to see the bodies of 5 once human things with their legs and arms here and there.

"Please… let this be a dream. Or at least an illusion. Please…"

The light flashed on, him finally screaming once more.

"Quiet you annoying clumsy Chiavarone," replied the person.

"Reborn!" shouted Dino, as he sped to him to hug him only to get a flying kick to the face and landed extremely close to one of the bodies. It blinked. IT BLINKED.

"Are these alive? What are they?" asked Dino, shaking in terror.

"Those? Well, wait for them to rise."

"They're zombies aren't they? They're gonna rise at midnight and then eat our brains."

"Shut up," said Reborn smacking his head with Leon.

The one who had blinked, gradually began to move. He also was the only one with both his legs attached.

"Welcome to the Vindice manor, and I hope you enjoyed our introduction to the manor as our very first guest in a very long time," he said. It was Jager.

"Eh?"

"Hehe, the screams were great," said Jack. As he sat up against the wall. His arm was the one that had been tripped over.

"I must agree," said Lotterio as he merely dragged himself up as the one who was bumped into.

[Very true.] Big Pino was the one that Dino fell face first into.

Alejandro was semi hanging from the ceiling and Small Gia was spread across the room.

"Oi, how come I'm the one who's not got any arms or legs or even a lower half," said Small Gia.

"It's because you're the least liked," said Jack.

"How can you say that for yourself?" said Elma as she entered the room along with Bermuda.

"We formerly welcome you to the Vindice manor. Enjoy your stay and we hope we did not cause as much as a fright," said Bermuda. With the air of power around him, Dino could only nod and quietly say that it was not that much of a fright.

"Well, I've got to get these people back together, so you may as well go to sleep," said Elma. "Reborn will show you where you stay."

"Ah… ok…" said Dino looking at Reborn.

And so, the hitman and teen boss left the room.

…

The following morning.

"I think I'll leave for today," said Dino.

They had breakfast, which was surprisingly nice.

"Well it can't be helped. Did you enjoy?" asked Tsuna with a beaming smile and sparkling eyes. Just realising how cute and helpless he felt towards her, Dino could not respond. Until he noticed the predatory eyes that glared at him to his right, aka Gingerbread.

"A-ah, well, it was really… interesting. I guess that's the only way I can describe it."

"Are you going to visit any time soon? Maybe when you're not working or something," suggested Tsuna.

"Oh. I mean, sure. Maybe," said Dino. And please don't great like you did yesterday.

…

"Hm. So do you think it's time?" asked Bermuda.

"It's a bit early, but this is the mafia. I guess it's time," said Luce.

"We can always wait a bit," said Bermuda.

"I'm just really worried," said Luce.

"Is it another vision?"

"Perhaps, but I feel like if we let her go, then something bad will happen."

"In the end, ew'll have to let her have her own freedom. It's not something we can complain about. She'll start going outside and exploring. We're not caging her in, but we're merely trying to protect her," said Bermuda.

"But that's the thing. That might lead her to think that you are actually keeping her confined here unconsciously," Luce stated. "Well, it's late. And yes we can always wait."

"Good night."

"Good night, Bermuda."

…

Well, Wings of Piano only lasted 2 chapters in the end. We'll start getting towards a plot in the next chapter in a small time skip. I hope you enjoyed and leave a review below if you can spare the time! Thank you so much, and I have never expected to have any story of mine to go over 100 follows, but 180? Seriously? You are too kind!

Until next time, bye bii~
